Quarterback: D

The offense had a terrible day, Alex Smith included. He finished with only 178 yards passing, no touchdowns and an interception. Smith was off on deep balls, going 0-for-6 on passes over 20 yards, and missed multiple players in the end zone. This was one of his worst performances of the season.

Running backs: C

Spencer Ware did what he could, finishing with 72 total yards on the day. The run game could have been better, although the Chiefs were facing one of the toughest front sevens in the NFL.

Wide receivers: D+

Tight ends: D+

Speaking of drops, apparently Travis Kelce is the only tight end on the team that can routinely catch the ball. Both Ross Travis and Demetrius Harris dropped easy passes.

Offensive line: B

This squad was actually pretty good sans Eric Fisher. He had one of his worst games of the season, giving up a sack and five QB hurries. Fisher previously allowed no more than two QB hurries in a game before Week 10 (stats via Pro Football Focus).

Coaching: C

I thought the play-calling was actually pretty solid, the execution just wasn’t there. Coach Andy Reid definitely put his team in a position to win despite key injuries. If Smith and some receivers wouldn’t have made key mistakes, the Chiefs would have won the game more handily.
